As I mentioned previously, I will be reviewing the Zero to Three National Center for Infant, Toddlers, and Families website. If you are interested in checking out the website yourself, here is their link: 


The Zero to Three National Center for Infant, Toddlers, and Families organization focuses on providing important and relevant developmental information to parents and educators about the childhood years from birth to three years old. I like this website because it specifically concentrates on the first three years of a child’s life. It provides multiple resources for anyone interested in the early childhood years. The following quote is from their website:

“ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Our mission is to promote the health and development of infants and toddlers.”

An interesting feature from the website that caught my eye is the "Baby Brain Map". It is an interactive tool where you can choose various ages, then click on areas of the brain, and you will receive developmental information. They give you tips and strategies on how to best develop certain skills. 

An issue of interest that I noticed is the issue of finding a quality childcare program. It can be difficult to find quality childcare. The section discusses what quality child care is and what parents should look for in a child care program. Here’s a link to the article:

  1. Angela,
    Thank you for sharing the website. I may pass it on to some of my coworkers who work with Early Head Start. The baby brain map sounds very interesting. It is amazing how fast the child's brain develops.

  2. Angela,

    I really like this website, I've used it a few times when looking up developmental information for my son. I checked out the newsletter, they give great information. I also like that they gave a link for checking out licensing information for the different states. Great post!

  3. Angela,
    I really like this website because it focuses on a small age group. It narrows it to a few years and have an abundance of information. I like how it is state specific.
    I look forward to hearing and reading more about this site.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Vennetta
